Our results show an average elasticity of 0.08 for men and of 0.14 for women as … largely depend on household composition and the individual's earner role within the household. We then estimate participation … women stems predominantly from the earner role of the individual within the household and nearly disappears once we control …

wave of the Health and Retirement Study, the results show that the wage elasticity of informal care supply is negative and … larger in magnitude than has been found previously. The lower bound of this elasticity is estimated to be -1.8 for males and … -3.6 for females. Additional findings suggest that the wage elasticity of informal care supply differs by the type of …

In this paper we estimate the elasticity of the labour supply to a firm, using data from the Household, Income and … Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Estimation of this elasticity is of particular interest not only in its own … immediately losing their workforce. This is in contrast to the perfectly competitive extreme, in which the elasticity is infinite …

Many countries face a continuing shortage in nurses' labour supply. Previous research suggests that nurses respond only weakly to changes in wages. We estimate a multi-sector model of nursing qualification holders' labour supply in different occupations. A structural approach allows us to model...

The aggregate Frisch elasticity of labor supply has played a key role in business cycle analysis. This paper develops a … Frisch elasticity and illustrate its main components: (i) the intensive and extensive adjustment of hours worked, (ii) the … panel data model of individual hours worked. Our estimated aggregate Frisch elasticity varies between .63 and .70. These …

We measure the impact of measurement error in labor-supply elasticities estimated over recalled usual work hours, as is ubiquitous in the literature. Employing hours of work in diaries collected by the American Time Use Survey, 2003-12, along with the same respondents' recalled usual hours, we...
